    Forecasts: The Tail Is Wagging the Dog; The Answer Is Wagging the Question , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min
    This chapter-level audiobook can change the way you listen to BigShots - mostly businesspersons with a snapshot or two of politicians - as they pontificate for public consumption and personal gain. You'll recognize the spin, that dastardly, polite euphemism for lies that the advertising/PR folks coined years ago to anoint their profession with a bit of undeserved dignity. In the process you might gain a more realistic grasp of what's going on around you and how your mind is being manipulated, aka brainwashed. In all modesty, you're in good hands; some would say the best, which could be considered bullshit in itself: Who decides? I would be first in line for an honorary doctorate in bullshit if, by some stretch of academic chutzpa, it were tendered by any of the world's great universities. (Actually, I could easily make the case that degrees in business communications or political science are really degrees in bullshit, but that's another book.) I am a master at crafting bullshit, and you, dear listener, will do well to listen to me. I've written millions of words - speeches, strategic plans, articles, and all sorts of marketing lies and spins that I too politely call corporate gargle. I've done that for a gaggle of executives who toil for businesses large and small, manufacturers and service providers, technologists and accountants. I've been practicing this dark, draconian art and teaching others how to follow my lead for 40 years, and, as I say jokingly, it shows in my wrinkled face and cynical attitude that I, with a straight face, call realistic, a true reflection of the world. You'll laugh out loud many times as you wander through the audio. My cheeky, witty, acerbic, in-your-face style is sprinkled with the irony of a true gadfly. You'll resonate - see yourself and your bosses in many of my damning examples as clearly as if you had lived them.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mimi Spillane.

    Wrong Place, Wrong Time (Rafferty : Hardboiled P.I. Series, #4) (eBook, ePUB)
    It should have been the easiest cash he'd ever make. But Rafferty forgot the golden rule. If it looks too good to be true … When bounty hunter Toby Wells offered Rafferty two hundred bucks for fifteen minutes work the answer was obvious. There was no way he could know Wells would murder an innocent man and use Rafferty as cover for his getaway. Payback will taste sweet. And would be a whole lot easier to come by if Rafferty wasn't already spending his days protecting Thorney-the octogenarian uncle of a good friend. But a deal is a deal. He's not about to cut the old guy loose just because things got complicated. Then Wells is back in town. Still trigger-happy and showing no signs of slowing his murderous rampage. Rafferty has to stop Wells. And he has to do it now. Because Uncle Thorney is walking right into the crossfire … WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME is the fourth book in the Rafferty P.I. series by Shamus Award-winning author W. Glenn Duncan.

    Just Go Down to the Road (eBook, ePUB)
    'An enthralling and compulsively readable memoir: James Campbell is a marvelously charming teller of his improbable progress from high school dropout to literary critic and intellectual. There is no resisting the humour and modesty, the humanity and tenderness of his vivid account' - Phillip Lopate, author of To Show and to Tell: The Craft of Literary Nonfiction'So here I am to say what for many years I have wanted to say: that not only did I admire your book on James Baldwin extravagantly when I read it upon publication, it is one of those books that have remained alive in my heart and mind ever since . . . and you know how rare that is!' - Vivian Gornick, author of Unfinished Business: Notes of a Chronic Re-Reader'Baldwin's best biographer' - New York Times Book Review'When I first met Baldwin, he referred me to James Campbell as the man to talk to if I wished to know more about his life and work' - Caryl PhillipsThe story begins with Campbell, aged 14, in a police cell in Glasgow. He's been charged with stealing books - five Mickey Spillane novels and a copy of Peyton Place. At 15, he became an apprentice printer, but gave that up in order to 'go on the road', fulfilling the only ambition he ever had while a pupil at King's Park Secondary School in Glasgow - to be what RLS called 'a bit of a vagabond'.On his hitchhiking journeys through Asia and North Africa, an interest in music, reading and writing grew. Campbell also took a keen interest in learning from interesting people. In 1972 he worked on a kibbutz, living in the neighbouring cabin to Peter Green, the founder and lead guitarist of Fleetwood Mac, with whom he formed a two-man musical combo. At the same time, he was part of a group of aspiring writers in Glasgow, including Tom Leonard. His literary heroes of the time were Alexander Trocchi and John Fowles: Campbell tracked them down to their homes and wrote extensively about both. The stories Campbell are recounted in this book.A crowning moment of his life was forming a friendship with the American writer James Baldwin. Campbell visited him more than once at his home in the South of France, and persuaded him to come to Edinburgh for the Book Festival in 1985. Campbell later wrote the acclaimed biography of Baldwin, Talking at the Gates.

He's her nephew's new baseball coach. Julie’s life is thrown a curve ball when her brother arrives the night before his seven-month deployment asking her to take care of his son. As a preschool teacher, she’s used to dealing with toddlers, not nine-year-olds. Noting her nephew’s interest in baseball, Julie signs him up for little league. She’s anything but thrilled to find out his coach is a celebrity. Eric returned to St Marys to lick his wounds and start over. But even in his hometown, he’s known more for his unfortunate appearance on a reality dating show than for his seven years in the major leagues. All he has to show for that poor decision is an ex-wife and a broken heart. Julie’s obvious disapproval makes her the perfect choice for his team mom. If she doesn’t like him, she won’t cause any problems. But will that be enough to keep his growing interest in her in check? And as Julie’s preconceived notions about sports figures slowly unravel, will she be able to resist the man behind the public persona?

    So the Story Goes / Various
    Close friends for many decades, Seán, Kevin and Ronan have toured and played socially since the early 1980s. Years of pressure from fans and friends have at last led to them making this recording of songs and tunes. Unsurprisingly, this CD (and so the story goes...) is true to their concert performances - a comfortable balance of gentle and wild pieces, never suffering from that immobilising modern ailment, over-production, just warm, friendly music and song. The tracks are rounded out beautifully by the delicately responsive accompaniment of three fine musicians, Fergus Feeley on mandola, Jimmy Fitzgerald on guitar and Paul O'Driscoll on double bass. SEÁN TYRRELL Seán Tyrrell was born in Galway City and has lived in County Clare for many years. He was the first on either side of his family to take up music although his father was a fairly good singer in the Irish tenor style. Musical help with his first stumbling steps was given to him by his good friend Jack Geary and from then on he has been self-taught. The people who have influenced Seán most are Dónal Standún, Joe Cooley, Kevin Keegan, Seán Chóilín Ó Conaire, Liam Weldon and Martin Rockford. Seán emigrated to New York in 1968 and joined the folk club scene in Greenwich Village. The early Seventies took him west to San Francisco, where he played in many an Irish music session. It was here that Seán's reputation as a singer of songs was formed. After moving to New Hampshire in the Mid-Seventies, he co-founded Apples in Winter, a band which was short-lived but which gained a name for itself. He returned to Ireland in the late Seventies, where he continued to compose, but seldom played in public. In 1978 he accepted employment with the University of Galway, based in the heart of the Burren in County Clare. It was hard to avoid music in this part of Ireland and Seán was soon lured back into the music scene. Swapping the Burren for the shelter of Bell Harbour, close to the border of his native county, Sean spent his time juggling the demands of mussel farming and a re-energised attention to his music. The early 1990s saw the release of Seán's first CD, Cry of a Dreamer, his winning of IMRO's 'Best Overall Folk Act' and his first musical adaptation of The Midnight Court, staged by the Galway Arts Festival in 1992, was immediately regarded by many as the hit of that year's festival. The Midnight Court has been an ongoing success in various forms and has toured most of Ireland's big theatres and was staged at the Edinburgh Festival in 2008. It has now entered yet another new phase with a collaboration which sees the artist Dara McGee and FÍBÍN doing live animation in tandem with The Midnight Court. Since Cry of a Dreamer, Seán has gone on to release The Orchard, Belladonna, Rising Tide and Message of Peace, while he had previously collaborated on two of Davy Spillane's CDs and was featured on the Songs of Peace Passendale Concert series. As well as the ongoing relationship with Ronan and Kevin, Seán has been involved in many other musical combinations with Paddy Keenan, Tommy Peoples, Little John Nee and the poet Mary O'Malley. KEVIN GLACKIN Kevin Glackin comes from a musical family in Dublin. He started playing the fiddle at the age of six under the guidance of his late father Tom who came from the Rosses in Donegal and it is indeed the Donegal style of fiddle playing that is most evident in Kevin's playing. Growing up in Dublin, players such as Frank O'Higgins, Leo Rowsome, John Joe Gardiner and John Kelly were regular visitors to the Glackin household and as a result Kevin was exposed at an early age to a wide range of different styles. During the Eighties Kevin embarked on his own musical journey, travelling the length and breadth of the country playing with various musicians. He recorded an album with a number of other Dublin traditional musicians under the title Bakerswell, which included musicians such as Sean Potts, Mick Hand and John Kelly. During this time he also recorded a duet album with his brother Seamus, called Northern Lights. This album received critical acclaim and was voted traditional album of the year by the Belfast Telegraph. During the Nineties he collaborated and toured with other musicians as well as Ronan and Seán. He also made a duet album with piper Davy Spillane called Forgotten Days which was voted traditional album of the year by the readers of Irish Music Magazine. Kevin has toured extensively in Europe, the U.S.A. and Asia. He currently lives in Dublin and teaches fiddle on the traditional music course in the Conservatory of Music and Drama at the Dublin Institute of Technology. RONAN BROWNE Born and bred in Dublin, Ronan Browne left the city in 1990, spending ten years in the Glen of Imaal in Wicklow before crossing the Shannon in the year 2000, to live in Spiddal. Musicians Peter O'Loughlin, Willie Clancy, Séamus Ennis, Leo Rowsome, Tommy Reck, Denis Murphy and Tommy Potts were family friends so it is no wonder that they all had a huge influence on Ronan's musical development. It was only in later years that the singing of his maternal grandmother, Delia Murphy, became important to him, as the young Ronan saw her more as a grandmother than an influential singer. Ronan's first lessons were from Dan O'Dowd with the newly formed Na Píobairí Uilleann in the early 1970s and as he grew older, John Kelly's Capel Street shop, The Horse Shoe and the Four Seasons pub next door, became his places of learning - if you waited long enough it seemed that all the good musicians passed through at some time. Kevin Glackin has been a lifelong friend and they have played together since their youth. The friendship with Seán Tyrrell was built up in the 1980s over many late nights in Ollie Conway's pub in Mullagh in County Clare. Having spent his whole life as a professional musician, Ronan straddles that difficult divide between pure traditional music and the modern electronic world, his work ranging from solo projects, playing with Glackin and Tyrrell, his celebrated duet with veteran musician Peter O'Loughlin, his trio CRAN, his acclaimed collaboration with poet Louis de Paor and trio performances with sean nós singer Róisín Elsafty and harpist Siobhan Armstrong, to writing and performing music for film and television and as the original piper with both the Afro Celt Sound System and Riverdance. Ronan has been involved in over 100 album recordings since his first venture into the studio in 1982 and has collaborated with many top traditional Irish music, classical, pop, jazz and country artists. Ronan's recent ventures have included a highly critically acclaimed listening/music appreciation class which opens people's ears to the depths of Irish music and a series of in-depth historical and critical articles on the piper and pipe-maker R. L. O'Mealy (1873-1947) for the Seán Reid Society. Ronan has been a member of the house band for three series of the hugely successful cult music-programme, The Transatlantic Sessions. His music has been used in many films including The Secret of Roan Inis, Circle of Friends, Rob Roy and Gangs of New York while possibly the strangest place his music has been placed was in the Playboy video of Farrah Fawcett, 'All of Me'! Since 2007, Ronan has been playing pipes, flutes and whistles for wedding ceremonies and he was awarded "Wedding Musician of the Year, 2011" at the "Weddings Online" awards.

    Harmonic Motion
    Slide - A History To trace the origins of Slide we must go back to 1999, to southwest Ireland, to a town called Bandon. It was here that the organizers of a local festival invited three Dublin based musicians to play sessions in various pubs over the weekend. Such was the inherent connection of musical approach, style and mindset that the idea of forming some kind of group was borne. A month later, and after much thought and consideration the three-piece became four as the cosy confines of a basement in Monkstown was turned from sitting room to rehearsal room. Following months of forging of individual minds into one collective unit Aogán, Daire, Éamonn and Mick felt the time was right to try out their new sound. On a cold December night 'The Cobblestone', on the outer edge of Dublin's inner City was shaken from rock to rafter, a gig that has since become known as 'The Wobble in The Cobble'. Soon afterwards Slide made their first release with 'The Flying Pig' which brought them to many of the main stages & festivals at home and abroad, from the National Concert Hall to the Cambridge Festival, England and from the headline act of the German Folk Festival Tour to the Inerceltic Festival of L'Orient, France. Thus lending a sense of the inevitable to their winning of 'The Best Newcomers' award by Irish Music Magazine in 2001. In the years that followed Slide continued to grow and develop. Unable to rid themselves of a feeling that the tradition was beginning to repeat itself, together with a keen desire for self exploration and collective innovation, a second album 'Harmonic Motion' was recorded. This encapsulated not only a continuation of self penned words and music but a heightened maturity in their content and delivery. So much so, that names such as Bill Whelan, Damian Dempsey, Hazel O'Connor, John Spillane, Stockton's Wing, Danú, Niamh Parsons & The Black Family called the artists in on some musical projects of their own. No strangers to picking up awards for individual musicianship, Slide have continued in a similar vein as a band with the recent winning of the 'Young Musicwide Award 2006', selected from all competing young bands by a panel of judges including Donal Lunny. This, coupled with the addition of new lead vocalist Andrew Murray, Slide are looking forward to revealing the latest chapter of one of the most interesting Irish traditional bands of modern times.
